Abstract
The dependences of electrolyte cathode properties influence on electrical features of glow discharge a namely, cathode potential fall and electric field strength in positive column were obtained for alkali metal chloride solutions. The antibatic behaviour of cathode potential fall and electric field strength at condition of acidity electrolyte cathode variation was displayed. The pronounced character of behaviour was found for KCl solution. It was suggested the mechanism of this behaviour based on taking into account alkali metal atoms ionisation deposit.
